NON-PROFIT HOSPITAL STAFF DWELLINGS

The City Planning Commission may permit non-profit hospital staff dwellings in accordance with the conditions of paragraph (a) of this Section, provided that the findings of paragraph (b) are met. 

(a)        The Commission may permit:

(1)        in all Residence Districts, or in C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6 or C7 Districts, non-profit hospital staff dwellings located on a zoning lot, no portion of which is located more than 1,500 feet from the non-profit or voluntary hospital and related facilities; or

(2)        in C4-2 Districts without a letter suffix, in Community District 11 in the Borough of the Bronx, non-profit hospital staff dwellings on zoning lots located not more than 1,500 feet from the non-profit or voluntary hospital and related facilities.

(b)        To permit such non-profit hospital staff dwellings, the Commission shall find:

(1)        that the bulk of such non-profit hospital staff dwelling and the density of population housed on the site will not impair the essential character or the future use or development of the surrounding area; and

(2)        that the number of accessory off-street parking spaces provided for such use will be sufficient to prevent undue congestion of streets by such use.

The Commission may prescribe appropriate conditions and safeguards to minimize adverse effects on the character of the surrounding area.
